Highlight: Launching of AKK’s New Book — Our Realistic Tomorrow

One of the major highlights of the evening was the official unveiling of Dr. AKK’s new book titled “Our Realistic Tomorrow.”

The book captures Dr. Kareem’s vision, reform agenda, and strategic roadmap for transforming Oyo State through innovation, inclusiveness, and accountability.

Attendees enthusiastically purchased copies of the book, posed for photographs with Dr. Kareem, and commended the intellectual depth and practical solutions outlined in the publication.

The book presentation segment underscored the educational and visionary approach that distinguishes AKK’s leadership philosophy — one grounded in data, planning, and sustainable development.

AKK’s Vision: A Blueprint for Inclusive Progress

In his address, Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK) expressed profound gratitude to all attendees, describing the gathering as “a reflection of shared vision, unity, and faith in a greater Oyo State.”

“Today is not just about me — it is about us,” he said.
“It is about our shared dream for a greater Oyo State, a stronger Nigeria, and a brighter future for our children. By gathering here today, you have demonstrated belief in that vision — and I do not take your presence for granted.”

Dr. Kareem presented his comprehensive blueprint for Oyo State’s transformation, focusing on key pillars of Education, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Agriculture, and Security.

He pledged to run an inclusive and transparent government, anchored on innovative policies, integrity, and sustainable development.

Policy Highlights from Dr. AKK’s Presentation

Dr. Kareem outlined several transformative ideas for the state, including:

  • Education Funding Reform: He proposed a per-head funding system for both public and private school students — ensuring full government funding for pupils in public schools and 75% support for those in private schools.

    “To achieve this, government must maintain accurate data and records of all school-aged children, and this is possible with genuine integrity and readiness to do what is right,” he explained.

  • Responsible Borrowing: AKK emphasized the importance of borrowing sensibly to fund critical projects, noting that while borrowing may be necessary, it must be done prudently and at lower interest rates.

  • Local Economic Empowerment: He promised to unlock the economic potential of every local government by harnessing their unique resources for self-sufficiency.

    “Every local government in Oyo State has the resources to thrive independently. I have done the research and documented the details — but those will be unveiled at the right time,” he noted.

  • Job Creation and Innovation: Dr. Kareem vowed to make Oyo State a hub for youth employment, agribusiness, and small-scale industries through partnerships with both domestic and diaspora investors.

A Movement, Not Just a Campaign

The interactive session allowed participants to contribute ideas, share insights, and pledge their support toward the Oyo 2027 Project.

Dr. Kareem reaffirmed that the AKK 2027 Project is not merely a campaign platform, but a movement of unity, service, and hope aimed at rebuilding Oyo State with honesty, vision, and shared responsibility.

“This gathering marks the continuation of a greater journey. By God’s grace, this mission will culminate in victory in 2027 — when the people of Oyo State will elect me, Adewale Kolapo Kareem, as their Governor,” he declared.

He concluded with a message of optimism and resolve:

“That Oyo State will rise again.
That Nigeria will rise again.
And that our diaspora family will continue to play a vital role in shaping a brighter future for our homeland.”
